Streamlining isn't an inherently bad thing at all. It's just that in the past several years it's been used as a euphemism for dumbing down, so it's taken on a negative connotation.
It's possible to condense and organize things in a way that doesn't take anything substantial from the game and just makes it more intuitive to play. A lot of games we view as classics these days did just that relative to their antecedents.
Nowadays, of course, it typically just means the game is dumber in its single-minded attempts at wider appeal, but it doesn't necessarily have to be so.

$22.50 on Steam right now for the next 2 days.
Everything that you need to know is that is gonna come out in 2014 for PC and nextgen and:
CDPR sure knows how to trailer.
Well, they've sure had plenty of practice with TW2

Oh yes. I'm excited for The Witcher 2 Linux Edition trailer.
Thanks, sounds very good.
Thanks. It was $15 before, wasn't it? I might get this still, even though I should wait a little till I shave my back

Well, there is the lack of expansions for EA titles.
At least we finally just got the other big feature I was hoping for eventually, OSX support with no additional cost for already purchased titles.

Many things, actually, and that'c coming from me: someone who preferred the second one overall.
Just read the official forum and you will learn that a substantial vocal minority of players prefer the first one by far.

Junior, please.
Sandbox cyberpunk? CD Projekt is basically making my dream game. I can't believe it, I'm so excited.
Wishlist:
Proper hacking with a "cyberspace" style environment
Michael McCann style soundtrack
... and from the sounds of things I can pretty much trust them to take care of the rest. This is going to be incredible.

This... I just hope there's free roaming with vehicles as well. One thing I really hope for. It's funny because a couple of weeks ago I tweeted a cyberpunk sandbox game would be my dream game, for an open world setting. Looks like it's being done now!

Toss me a cigarette because I just came.
First one is good, don't get me wrong. But how can you not like the second one better?
First one didn't get good until about the 3rd chapter.
Combat and fidelity have improved to a ridiculous degree.
You could probably argue that the first one you had more decisions and they had huge effects on the story.
My body is ready.

I'm going to lather myself up in peanut butter and play The Witcher 2 while Blade Runner is on in the background.
Gonna be a good night.

I need one too. This is one of those concepts that seems like it was created just for me. You guys get your own game!

Vehicles are most important! I hope they're going to put some customizations into that too.
I want to reproduce my Skyline R39!

So, yeah. Why the fuck is my Witcher 2 downloading a 16 gig update on Steam? Already had the enhanced edition, so I'm guessing this is some kind of bug due to them adding mac support?
Jesus Christ, I might as well just type up pre-prepared rants and raves about being dumbed down into Notepad and save them for the future because I already see I'll need them.
It's not a bug, it's just the way they have to do it. Which obviously sucks for people who don't even own a Mac.

Any recaps?, please.

your stupid prejudice matter, that's for sure.
I won't even discuss how RAM affected all console releases from IW and Thief to Dishonored and so on, won't waste my breath. Your opinion won't change anyway.
Sentenza

You have no idea of what you are talking about, as it's often the case with you.
I don't think you have any idea of what "my prejudices" can be.
You don't have to. First, because I probably understand the topic better than you, and second because IT DOESN'T MATTER.
Hardware limitations are not the reasons some games are designed with "ease of access" in mind.
Prejudices of publishers and developers about "what the audience want" are.
Beside, the gap in available RAM between next gen consoles and the average gaming PC will probably exist anyway over the next years.
Then again we are on GAF, where many people would prefer to pierce their own eyes than admit that "the medium is the message" and platforms of choices DO have an influence over the design process. Even in front of the evidence.
In fact you can just enter the XCOM thread to read many users ready to swear that this new game "isn't be simplified by a bit over the old one", which is simply delusional.
as I said earlier you are just stuck in time not seeing forest for the trees and boiling down the essence of games to stuff like UI, small details which totally don't matter unless the game preserves its core. It's ok, you are not the only one.
And it's not hard to have any idea of your prejudices because almost every your post contains them. Basically every person who thinks that one platform is superior to the other is simply wrong. I think some people can't think in terms of "different", their brain is wired to binary "worse/better". Well, whatever.
Sentenza
Member
But you are completely wrong. They matter. A lot.
And "being unable to see the the forest through the trees" is just your delusional (and probably self-reassuring) conviction, by the way.
Some of us are perfectly capable to pay attention to both.

Is The Witcher 3 ever gonna come out?
There's still one other "AAA project" CDPR is working on that hasn't been revealed. Decent chance that's Witcher 3.

this is true. unless you think it's pc, cos there's actually empirical evidence.
Put all resources into Cyberpunk first. Eff The Witcher.
